I just started the Elegant Universe which is about string/superstring theory. Now, I haven't gotten that deep in, but I've looked up some of it on Wikipedia, and according to what I can see, there has ...

We don’t know very much about our universe. We’re fairly certain it exists, but we don’t know how it got here, how long it’s been here, or how big it is. Heck, we don’t even know if our universe is ...

Dr. Brian Greene is explaining superstring theory. He is a physics professor at Columbia and wrote a best-selling book The Elegant Universe. Superstring theory could be the unifing theory that ...

When Dr. Alex Murry (a bearded Chris Pine) tries to explain a new theory of dimensional physics that would undo hundreds of years of accepted science in A Wrinkle in Time and allow for interstellar ...

The goal of elementary particle physics is to achieve a unified understanding of fundamental forces (gravitational, electromagnetic and nuclear) and elementary particlesin terms of concise and ...

Few fields of scientific endeavor are “hotter” than superstring theory. Despite a debate that has broken out between theoretical physicists over the substantiality of the field (see “Opinion,” page 9) ...

In human history, there have been many interesting and epic feuds – the Hatfields and McCoys, Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, or the Notorious B.I.G and Tupac. Many of us love to read in tabloids or ...

No. And testing for them is... problematic. Recently, there was some hope that short-range gravitational measurements (like, within a cm), might show deviation from longer-range measurements, giving ...

But despite its extraordinary popularity among some of the smartest people on the planet, string theory hasn’t been embraced by everyone–and now, nearly 30 years after it made its initial splash, some ...

Since the 1980s, string theory has emerged as the leading candidate for achieving every physicist’s dream: reconciling general relativity with quantum mechanics and thereby finding a tidy explanation ...

Superstring theory is an attempt to explain all of the particles and fundamental forces of nature in one theory by modelling them as vibrations of tiny supersymmetric strings. 'Superstring theory' is ...
